Scheduled for BBL/lipo 360 in June, but I’m very worried about my existing nerve damage. Could it worsen with surgery?

Question

I am scheduled for BBL/lipo 360 in June of this year, but I’m very worried about my existing nerve damage in my back from having shingles years ago ... I am taking valtrex and it really works but when I stop it comes right back .. do y’all think my nerve damage will worsen due to surgery ?!?! ☹️

in my opinion it is unlikely that liposuction with fat transfer such as a BBL will cause any significant worsening of your shingles or secondary herpes Symplex outbreaks.  Do you have a better understanding of this I would suggest talking to a neurologist or infectious disease specialist.  Most likely you should be on Valtrax during and after your procedure. Check with your plastic surgeon to see how he or she feels about your situation. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
